Why do some pins don't work with wiringPi?

I'm trying to write a simple program which uses the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi 3B.

When I run the following program, only the LED on pin 17 flashes. Pin 27 doesn't blink and doesn't get set to OUT.

I don't get any error messages.

int main(){
if (wiringPiSetupSys() == -1){
        std::cout << "wiringpsetup failed\n";
        exit(1);
}

auto pin = 17;
auto pin1 = 27;
pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(pin1, OUTPUT);

for (auto i = 0; i < 8; ++i)
{
    digitalWrite(pin, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(pin1, HIGH);
    delay(500);
    std::cout << "high\n";
    digitalWrite(pin, LOW);
    digitalWrite(pin1, LOW);
    delay(500);
    std::cout << "low\n";
}
}

However, I can make the LED on pin 27 blink by executing the following commands in the terminal:

gpio -g mode 27 out
gpio -g write 27 0
gpio -g write 27 1
gpio -g write 27 0

Consequently, the LED is properly connected and not broken.

A little additional information:

pi@raspberrypi:~$ gpio -g readall

I still don't know why it doesn't work in the example, but I found another solution:

Instead of wiringPiSetupSys() I use now the function wiringPiSetupPhys() and accordingly the correct pins (13 and 15).

If someone knows a solution with wiringPiSetupSys(), I would still be glad about an answer...
